Crucially 802.11ad adds a &#8220;<em>fast session transfer<\/em>&#8221; feature, which enables wireless devices to seamlessly transition between 60GHz and the legacy 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Bruce Kraemer, Chair of the IEEE802.11 WLAN Working Group, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>IEEE 802.11 is undergoing a continuous process of refinement and innovation to address the evolving needs of the marketplace, and there is no better proof of that fact than IEEE 802.11ad.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>By migrating up to the next ISM band (60 GHz), we break ground on new spectrum for IEEE 802.11, enable an order of magnitude improvement in performance and enable usages that have never before been possible with existing IEEE 802.11 \u2014 namely wireless docking and streaming video<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Ali Sadri, President and Chairman of the WiGig Alliance, added:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Our members have worked closely with IEEE on developing the standard.

It will also help local wireless networking kit to keep pace with the new generation of fibre optic based fixed line broadband ISP products.<\/p>\n<p>But when will we be able to buy the first kit? Several 60GHz devices are currently being demonstrated at the 2013 CES event in Las Vegas and the first commercial products should <strong>launch sometime this year<\/strong> (possibly Q3 or Q4 after certification of new kit).
